Horsepower Elite by Delta

Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Corvette, Jaguar… If your blood starts to boil whenever you catch one of these names or other super cars’ names, you cannot miss the new Horsepower Elite by Delta.

Its name tells all: the horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power that indicates the rate at which work is done. The term was born by Sir James Watt in the late 18th Century to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. Since then, the unit has been applied to piston engines, turbines, electric motors and other machinery.

The pen bearing this name is an embodiment of speed and power: with its bright colours – black and red – and its solid and streamlined shape, this pen can smoothly speed upon a paper sheet just as a car can do on a racing track.

The technology applied in the making of this pen is impressive: made of a special resin, the reservoir is hand-turned from solid bars, polished, and inserted with carbon fibre.The metal accessories are of white rhodium for the black model and in burnished rhodium for the red model.
The famous Fusion nib is made of a gold sheet placed on steel so to enhance the physicochemical properties of the ink. This, in fact, will result smoother and with a better performance compared to solid-gold nibs.
